A Flame Lasts A Short Time Comments

Strong pome with many metaphors.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Paul. Yeah, perhaps the poem is a bit too 'flowery' when read by someone on a Hemi-baby binge... The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and A Well-Lighted Place are two of my favorite Hemingway shorts.

I like how it starts, but then it's too long. But then, I've just been reading Hemingway, so maybe it's just me.

this is a good poem i love this poem

This is so good! I love it :) i hope you read and like my (short) poems... Keep up the good work.
